WILLIAM S. HAY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO DAVOL RUBBERCOMPANY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, A CORPORATION OF RHODE ISLAND.

ATOIVIIZER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. HAY, a citizenof the United States, residing at Providence, in the county ofProvidence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Atomizers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention pertains to certain new and useful improvements inatomizers, and the primary object of the invention is to provide anatomizer which can be easily and readily converted into a douche, andfurther one in which the degree of atomizing action of the device may beregulated or.controlled.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view taken through anatomizer constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 isan enlarged section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a viewsimilar to Fig. 2 but showing the parts in a different position.

The bottle 1 has the usual top 2 threaded into engagement therewith, thetop 2 having a counterbored socket 3 in which the head 4 of the tube 5engages. The head 4 is formed with a downwardly facing threaded socket 6which receives the upper end of a tube 7 that is threaded intoengagement therewith and extends vertically down into the bottle. Thehead 2 is formed on its bottom with a socket 8 being substantially thatof the counterbored portion of the socket 3. A plug 9 has its upper endexteriorly threaded and engages in the threaded socket 8, the plug beingformed with a longitudinal passage 10 and a transverse passage 11. Thevertical tube 7 is received in the longitudinal passage 10 and is formedwith a passage 12 that registers with the passage 13 of the tube 5. Thetube 7 has a transverse passage 14: that extends from the passage 12thereof through the adjacent side of the tube, the transverse passage14: being for registry with the transverse passage 11 of the plug 9.

It is evident that the tubes 5 and 7 may be formed in one piece ifdesired without departing from the spirit of my invention whichparticularly consists in a rotatable delivery tube for regulating theatomizing action.

In operation it will be seen that the tube Specification of LettersPatent.

7 may be rotated with respect to the plug 9 so as to vary therelationship between the passages 11 and 14 to thus adjust or regulatethe atomizing action which may be required. hen it is desired to use theatomizer as a douche, the tube 7 or the plug 9 is rotated to cause thepassages 11 and 14: to assume the position shown in Fig. 3 of thedrawings, in which passage 14 is closed against the ingress of air. InFig. 2 the passages 11 and 14: are in position to eifect atomizingaction.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. In an atomizer, in combination with a bottle havinga top, a tube carried by the top and formed with a threaded socket, asecond tube threaded into said socket and having a longitudinal and atransverse passage, said top being further formed with a threadedsocket, and a plug threaded in said socket of the top and formed with alongi tudinal passage and a transverse passage, the longitudinal passageof the plug receiving said second mentioned tube and the transversepassage of the plug being for registry with the transverse passage ofthe second mentioned tube.

2. In combination with an atomizer bottle having a top which is formedwith a counter bored socket which extends through the bottom side of thetop and which has its lower portion interiorly threaded, a tube having ahead that engages in the upper unthreaded end of the socket, said headhaving a "downwarclly facing interiorly threaded socket, a second tubehaving a transverse passage and having its upper end threaded intoengagement with the threaded socket of the head, and an element threadedinto engagement with the threaded end of the socket of the bottle topfor regulating the size of the transverse passage of the secondmentioned tube.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
